Browsing the Web and using Search
Imagine a library bigger than any
building can hold, a world-wide
shopping mall open 24 hours a
day, a global newsroom, and an
international town square where
anyone can make their views known.
Combine these things and more
and you have the World Wide Web.

You can browse and explore the Web on your own or
you can use Search to find what you want. It's up to you.
The Web is made of millions of Web sites. Each site,
like a book, can have hundreds of Web pages.
What makes the Web so much fun is the way that many
of these pages are linked together. These links take you
to different pages. Most of the time, links appear as
underlined or differently colored text that you can choose.
Often, links appear as buttons on a Web page. You can
easily spend hours browsing linked pages. This is also
known as surfing the Web.
In this section, you'll learn about browsing and searching
the Web. To get more information on browsing or
searching, choose Help on the home page.
Going to a Web site you know
Many organizations now put their
Web address in their ads or on
business cards. If you know the
Web address of a site that you want
to visit, you can easily get to it.
There are three ways to go to a Web site you know
• On the MSN TV home page, type the Web site
address in the text box near the bottom of the page.
• In Search, type the Web site address into the
text box on the Search page.
• When you're anywhere on MSN TV, press the
Type www key on the keyboard, and then type
the Web site address in the text box that appears.
This is usually the handiest way.
For example, here's a Web address. Press the Type www
key on your keyboard, type the address in the text box
that appears, and then choose Go.
http://www.ancestry.com
Tip
When using Type www, you only have to type the
part of the address that comes after www. MSN TV will
take care of the rest.
